**** ETNI on the web http://www.etni.org.il http://www.etni.org **** We've done this a bit differently. Our 11th grade 5-pointers took module E this year. They will take F and G in the winter. Those who don't pass can either retake the exam in the summer or choose to take modules C and D in the summer so that they will have a 4-point grade.
